# 24 10/100 ports# 1 RU standalone, fixed-configuration, managed 10/100 switch# SI SoftwareThis switch provides customers with a choice of connectivity options. The Catalyst 2950-24 provides 24 10/100 ports for edge connectivity respectively, customers get an extremely cost-effective solution for delivering gigabit speeds using fiber. Dual ports also provide redundancy and increased availability, as well as provide a cost-effective means for cascading switches and managing them as a cluster. This switch is ideal for education and government segments, where fiber uplinks are a requirement.

The Catalyst® 2950 Series Intelligent Ethernet Switches with EI Software are also part of the Catalyst 2590 Series switches. These fixed-configuration, stackable models bring intelligent services, such as advanced QoS, enhanced security, and high availability to the network edge—while maintaining the simplicity of traditional LAN switching. When a Catalyst 2950 Intelligent Ethernet Switch is combined with a Catalyst 3550 Series Switch, the solution enables IP routing from the edge to the core of the network.
